QUANTUM FUTURE

Material may lead to advances in quantum computing

A compound made from the elements potassium, niobium and oxygen, along with chromium ions -- could provide a technological breakthrough that leads to the development of new quantum computing technologies. Quantum computers would harness the power of atoms and molecules to perform memory and processing tasks on a scale far beyond those of current computers.

The research was recently published in Physical Review Letters.
